The dance of Venus and Mars represents our need for love and how we go about achieving it. Venus describes our essential needs, both inner (Taurus) and outer (Libra), which we must recognize before any relationship can be successfully actualized with Mars.

Each time we experience Venus retrograde, we review our values and evolving needs. Every eight years Venus retrograde repeats various major themes in our lives.

Each time we experience Mars retrograde we get in touch with reviewing and evolving our conscious desire nature. Both Venus and Mars have two of the rarest retrograde cycles, and yet we find ourselves very interested in how these two planets relate to our love life.

This workshop was recorded live for the Manitoba Astrological Association in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.
